Apple Officially Coming to Grand Central—We Told You So

It’s official, at least according to The New York Post: Apple will be opening a grand new store in Grand Central: 23,000 square feet at $800,000 a year for the first 10 years and then a lot more after that.

Apple has begun a super-secret quest for a store in historic Grand Central Terminal, potentially creating a hive of buzzing techies in the glamorous Beaux Arts landmark.

Reliable sources tell The Observer that the maker of ubiquitous iGadgets–from computers to cell phones–hopes to open a store in the transportation and retail hub, though it has yet to begin the long approval process necessary for opening in a city landmark.

The world little noted, nor long remembered it. In fact, we very nearly retracted the scoop a month later based on a single tweet by a broker. We did think it was odd, or at least a hell of a thing to pull off, given the landmark status of the train station and the costs inherent in doing retail business inside there.
